A group of cormorants (Phalacrocorax spp.) gathered on large, rugged white rocks by the shoreline. The ocean is visible in the background, with calm blue waters stretching to the horizon. The birds, mostly black, are perched in various positions across the rocks, some preening, others resting. The rocks appear weathered, with some staining likely from bird guano. In the foreground, sea lions (Zalophus californianus) rest on the lower rocks, adding to the coastal wildlife scene of Monterey Bay, California.
